Congratulations on your engagement!
“The matrimonial covenant, by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership of the whole of life, is by its nature ordered toward the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of offspring; this covenant between baptized persons has been raised by Christ the Lord to the dignity of a sacrament.” (CCC 1601)
The Church rejoices greatly in the coming together of man and woman before God, and we at St. Francis of Assisi look forward to preparing you for the joys and challenges of that commitment!
Christ raised the marriage covenant to the level of Sacrament so that it might instil grace, draw men and women into God's loving plan, and witness God's steadfast faithfulness toward His people.
Christians seeking the Sacrament of Matrimony promise each other to be faithful, open to life, and selfless in pursuing their spouse’s wellbeing. As Christ Himself proclaimed marriage to be indissoluble, the Church takes seriously the requirement that spouses enter into a marriage that is for life, and thus enter into the Sacrament as a sincere commitment of their lives for the sake of their spouse and the Church.
Engaged couples interested in the Sacrament of Marriage are encouraged to call our parish office at (760) 945-8028 as early as possible to discuss potential dates and the necessary preparations for engaged couples.
It is necessary that either the prospective bride or groom are registered, active members of St. Francis Parish.
